you need an energy source small enough before you get rail guns into tanks

RUSSIA STRONK

Bravo ! Cela va sûrement être très apprécié !

It's been a while since we've seen improvements/patching or new contents for CMBS. There has been a lot of input from players since. Any chance of something happening soon ?

Hi, is this modelled in the game ?

It COULD drastically reduce stinger's effectiveness against russian helos and low altitude fixed wing aircrafts making the lack of robust ground AA on the US side even more acute .

This kind of thing could be the trigger for a 1914 style escalation. Something like this

Regarding Mariupol maybe tactical surpise was achieved and the Ukrainians caught napping
or drunk
they seem to have a lot of problems with alcohol abuse

What makes you think that? On a contrary, Boomerang is at the end of the queue. If you'd look at this year's pictures, you'd see that Boomerang wasn't finished when they first showed it. I pointed it out right away. Now it's much better. For comparison:
So these are still prototypes. Another reason for low priority is simple - this is still pretty much a light APC rather than IFV, so it's less valuable compared to medium/heavy IFVs and tanks. If you don't ask the boys who ride 82a's in Syria, of course. I'm sure they'll tell you otherwise.
Other thing to point out - bottom hull pictures of Kurganets. Interesting hull shape where it's closer to tracks.
Boomerang's bottom hull just for the sake of it.
Boost is boost, but it still sucks tanky-wise.
Not especially the boomerang but i was talking more about the Kurganets-25. That should be a priority for the army to replace the BMP-2s and 3s and easier to produce no ?
-
Concerning a family expansion or module/vehicule pack for CMBS on the russian side:
I would like to see the Kurganets-25, Boomerang series vehicules (they should start appearing later this year in real life). Stats about them should be appearing soon (much earlier than Armata). I believe the Russians will put the emphasis on them as they are lacking in the IFV sector.
T-72B3M (with panoramic sight for the commander). All new upgrades of the T-72 to the B3 standard will now have the panoramic sight and existing ones may be upgraded again. Considering how much spotting is important in modern warfare, it would give that tank a real boost.
stuff like that Tiger with the quadruple Kornet launchers.

found this: http://nationalinterest.org/print/blog/the-buzz/russias-dangerous-t-14-armata-tank-ready-war-next-year-15805
first deliveries in 2017. BUT we dont know much about the tank"s specs so unlikely to be in a module anytime soon. Educated guesses would likely be wrong and belittle the tank so I personaly would prefer no Armata until we have a good and accurate idea about its performance.

I read batting RPGs.... picturing a guy with a baseball bat slugging back RPGs to their owners LOL
-
****ty simulators are part of military training everywhere ... got to do with the acquisition process and greasing some contractor`s wheels. You need contacts on the inside to get a contract and game companies do not.
-
i`ve ko'ed abrams with the 30mm on the Bmp-3ms with the new ammo a few times from the side (side lower hull) but the Abrams were already pretty much blind because of sub-system damage. Just for the fun of it.
russian vehicule launched ATGMs sometimes feel like someone is fiddling with the manual to learn how to launch and guide them before they shoot...hmmm... how do these things work ??? let`s see... BOUM ! dead
-
There is nothing in that interview saying that the Grifel 125mm round will never be. He said that it is in testing and are hoping it will be available soon.
Also, when talking about production tools and technology, he said there were problems but not for armata specifically. He was talking about the defense industry in general. But that they are finding alternatives and that they hope it will solved by 2020

You and antaress say theyve fired. Ive exclusively played russians since last july. I ALWAYS picked BMP2M tac grps for every attack and maybe a third of my defenses and in dozens if not hundreds of games with multiple BMPs never saw them fire its missiles. Ever. Ive NEVER seen ANYONE able to PROVE to me that 2Ms have fired their ATGMS EVEN ONCE.
Someone provide me.with a few good screens of ONE occassion and Ill stfu.
I saw it fire once or twice in hundreds of games, they should fire and cause heavy damage to the US side (especially the Abrams) more much often. I dont know what the problem is.
-
I saw the BMP-2M fire its Kornets only once (and I play almost exclusively the russian side) and that was against a Striker (of all things !!). I vehemently second Sublime on that, the pig headed suicidal BMP-2Ms need to be fixed ASAP.

Did they ever figure out what kind of TOW was used? Pretty sure we discussed it. It just seems like the media doesn't acknowledge that the tank is probably much newer than that specific vehicle.
I also chuckled at the end where the author suggested that Syria would be more happy over the survival of the crew than the vehicle. Given everything else, I doubt that.
One of the main problem syrian government forces had was manpower. Russia can always supply more tanks , trained crews are a different matter
-
Programming CMBS must be extremely complex and time consuming. Research must be time consuming also. The "core" team is very small indeed. It can't be otherwise since it is a niche product. Compared to other games the sales must be very small and those guys can't spread the butter too much if they want to work on it full time and still make a decent living.
-
I think the new patch should have m1a2s without laser warning receivers as an option. Yes like aps they could be bolted on but the tanks dont have them now.
That would make the kornet quite formidable. But the AT-13 being able to correctly penetrate and kill an M1A2 with a side turret hit would much improve that missile's lethality. I've lost many kills to that bug. Another bug is that small and fast SACLOS missiles (like the AT-13 ) are being detected too easily by tanks when coming in from the sides or rear (like a sixth sense). This enables the tanks to unexpose their weak flanks on an unrealistically regular basis (hurts the russian side more than US). When both bugs are fixed then the AT-13 will be a great solution against the Abrams. Difficult to detect the launcher when deployed properly, very low set-up time , mobile and little to no warning its coming your way . Can also be fired from the shoulder with less accuracy.
-
Kornet is no guarantee against an Abrams though. More than once i've seen an Abrams whip its turret around and ice the launcher and its whole crew mid-shot.
at closer range yes. Mid-range shots, foxholes and trench in woods or inside buildings deployment with veteran or higher crews is highly. Recommended. Also, Vanir said that tanks detected flank or rear missiles laubches and turned their turret too easily (without APS of course) and it should be corrected in a Patch along with the Abrams side turret armor bug (it is way too resistant to HEAT rounds, At-13s will never penetrate despite 900mm of penetration after ERA).
-
Relative to all other re-armament programs (especially the damn navy) infantry equipment is peas.
well I like using Infantry in my games, even infantry-centric games. And I like playing the Russians so if the russian infantry can get rifle optics wuth that increased accuracy and lethality round in the game + some RPG-27s instead of the RPG-26 as disposables like they should by 2017 in real life that would be a plus
-
They're good at stationary images, but all the ones I've seen don't seem to like it when the optic moves. Which is why often the demonstration images look pretty sweet, but on a tank turret, or scanning a sector they get special.
i'm curious, they get choppy ? Useless ? Or just more difficult to use effectively but still good enough in anything less than a "who draws first situation" ?
-
Okay for thermals, they may not get as many , they seem to have problems with microbolometers arrays. But day optics on rifles with improved accuracy rounds like included in Ratnik should be more widespread I believe.
-
Hokay then:
Re: Ratnik
I think Battlefront is at least a little researched as far as infantry systems. One of the key holdups from my understanding in Russian night vision and thermal optics was the reliance on import components. I'm not sure for the more modern sets if there's the industrial element to back that up yet.
The general danger of modeling anything in the future is frequently the stated, even reasonable goals of military forces right here right now entirely fall victim to all sorts of slings and arrows. Case in point for Battlefront products would be USMC squads with M32s as far as the eye could see in CMSF, but in other games:
1. RAH-66 Comanche
2. XM8 rifle
3. Land Warrior
4. SCAR
5. Black Eagle/T-95/T-99 etc
are great examples of vaporwear that have made it entirely into otherwise realistic games. Then on the other end there's stuff that "dies" and comes right on back at a much later date (see KA-50, MV-22).
I think Russian infantry as represented in terms of optics isn't too unreasonable. Night observation devices have not been a strong suit, and at least externally it looks like there's some sort of supply side problem with them, or at least a reasonable expectation there's not going to be as many as some folks would hope. As far as thermals, those especially have been reliant on French exports, and looking at the state of Russian vehicle thermals, I'd be interested to see their dismounts.As for how they look, here you go. This dates back to 2013. Take à look at the video, you can see video of what they look like :

As i've just read, thermals are homemade now. And the Chinese may be of help for components .
they seem to have a lot of problems with alcohol abuse
Armata soon to be in service.

fury is good drama but technically deficient (the 76mm sherman at close range would have made minced meat of that tiger, especially when they outnumber it 3-1) and the ending is simply stupid. But some scenes and situations are fairly gripping and realistic .
